TDCM: May 18th - John Dowland

 

Listening Through The Dictionary of Composers and Their Music 


John Dowland (1563-1626)


Bio

Dowland is either from Westminster or Dublin with very scant evidence of either. He was awarded a degree in music from Christ Church, Oxford. He unsuccessfully applied to work in Elizabeth I's court and claimed his Catholic faith was the reason. He did serve under Christian IV of Denmark and then James I back in England. 

Music

Lachrimae or Seaven Teares


Lute Songs
